Cloud types

Today's learning target was...identify and describe the various types of clouds.

Our class began with a discussion related to the three major types of clouds (cirrus, cumulus, and stratus). Students then found similar chacteristics to learn certain prefixes used to describe clouds to even more detail (alto, cirro, strato, nimbus). We ended class with playing an identification game using multiple photgraphs of clouds.
